A workshop How to Start a Family Farm and get EU Funds took place on November 23rd in the city of Gospić, Croatia. Workshop presented the requirements for registering a Family farm business (cro.

Almost 30 young farmers and owners of the small farms attended the workshop. All of them see a great potential of the Lika region in the development of agricultural activities.
